Ember glows hot
Fire not quite out
Glowing coal lay waiting for exact moment
to burst
combustion
conception
a flaming demented life
irrational
uncontrollable
racing here and there
no apparent course
Ignites in a flash
consumes all in its path
consumes itself
destruction
hollow burnt shell
ashes
all that remain
Raindrops fall gently
nourishing thirsty earth
life giving water
Swollen rivers flow
swiftly through the neighborhood
alarming the people
This precious liquid,
necessary renewal,
no longer admired
Destruction disguised
a benign interloper
warily watched
Nature’s fury shows
humans cannot outwit drops
steadily falling
Life giving water
becomes the reapers hand
exacting its due
Circle of life come
full as we watch lustrous pearls
of rain gently fall
There’s a man in my life
I whisper his name
dark and mysterious
loves to play teasing games
There’s a man in my life
untamed and wild
he loves and supports me
he’s gentle and mild
There’s a man in my life
with excitement and charm
he surveys around
to keep me from harm
There’s a man in my life
I shout out his name
I love him! I need him
my wonderful swain
